I was out back tearing apart my old 4G63 block and tranny that has been laying in my back yard since last summer when I pulled it out since I actually had the time for once. Pulled off the transfer case, separated the engine and transmission, removed the torque converter and started ripping into the block. The oil pump is off, so are all of the pulleys and I started on the water pump but I ran out of sunlight. One of the main things I did was pull off the oil pan and pop out th... Read More
Now that it is finished and running I had to start worrying about other repairs it needs.

This time I removed the front subframe member to give myself a little more room to move the engine around, droppe... Read More
Today Sai12 and I went out and bought a battery and rented the engine hoist before she had to go to work. First Amanda and I scraped and sanded the hood to begin working on removing its battle scars and rust spots. After she had to leave I had just enough time before the sun went down to prime the hood. After that I spent a good 3 hours trying to get the engine out myself before my buddy Chase made it over aroun 11pm, laying down a first coat of green on the hood some time arou... Read More
